"Why, you needn't" began Rob !;
but the girl shook her head.
"I can't walk step, and you two are
not strong enough to carry me al the

to keep stopping to rest; and putting
me down and taking ME up again
would almost kill me-"
"Oh, but We'll only lift you into the

Will.
"And in that way the poor girl was

Incentives to War.
BY REV. D. d. TAPPIN.

Why don't you look more to the be-
qinninqs "He drew his revolver and
Shot his victim" How came he to
hare revolver about him, thus being
already for this deed of murder? Did
he expect to kill somebody, or this
man in particular? And how about
this equipment of deadly weapons,
tempting to their reckless use, on any
sudden gust of passion, or to crafty
cherished revenge, waiting for its op-
portunity? Can no laws be enacted,
and enforced, to prevent the custom of,
ordinarily, going about thus armed ?
If certain officials, when on duty, need
to be, does the necessity extend to citi-
zens in general, as well the reckless as
others? If the man, who Killed his
fellow-man, had carried no revolver
about, his sudden wrath, or even his
cherished revenge, might, on sober
thought, have abated, and the guilt OF
murder would not lie on his soul.
Must we ataOdys permit provocatives
to murder and war, to pass in a great
degree. unnoticed, till misrule becomes
the order of the day, and bloodshed
ceases to alarm? Is it not characteris-
tic of us, Americans, that we let alone
an evil, till it becomes gigantic, and,
then, begin to question our ability to
arrest it? Witness slavery, Mormon
ism, and intemperance. Let us look
more to the beginnings.
Why furnish little children with
playthings adapted to excite, or foster
a military spirit? Why should lads OF
this generation be encouraged to en-
ploy, in attempts at oratory, speeches
like those formerly attributed to mill
tary chieftains, melting the admira-
ton of martial exploits? And, with
out depreciating the virtues of civil
rulers, who though they had been mill
itary chieftains, had other and higher

Only the Faults.

"My husband is sure to notice, and
speak of any imperfection with regard
to the cooking" said an over-Worked
wife.
"I suppose he also speaks of the per-
fections?" | replied, with perhaps a
question in my tone.
"No; he seems to think that his ac-
ceptance and enjoyment of dish
holds sufficient praise; but 1 have Of
ten waited, and longed like a child, for
a word that would tell me that he ap-
preciated my work or skill in the sue
cess before him; but have begun to
believe that I must do without it, for
it seems to be habit for men to speak
of what displeases them, and to Keep
silent when they are satlSfed Win
what is placed before them"
said nothing to the woman, but L
said to myself, "Poor, over-worked lit
tie housewife! You have not philoso-
phized beyond the housekeeping do
main Of thought; with your care for
the three meals, that through 800 days
can never be laid down, how could you
have an opportunity. For this care
has amounted, not only to solemn du-
" with you, but to tyranny; but, /:
YOU could have had single chance to
Judge of cause and effect, as related to
lothcr matters than your husbands s
meals, YOU might have noticed that it
is the habit of human nature to watch
for and to discover impeJecttonS ratll-
er than to seek perfection.
In no particular is this more truly
the case than with regard to Christians.
If processed Christian goes wrong,
everybody seems to know it, and the
majority of those who know it like to
talk about it.
But what of the case when Chris
tians do right? What happens when
there cannot be found flaw in their
lives? Do we hear men calling-one to
the other-what true, beautiful lives
these Christians are living?
If we call the man who finds fault
with the slightest imperfection in the
food, and never gives the trusting,
waiting wife word of praise or en-
couragement for the perfections, a
very thoughtless, if not a very selfish
man, should we not name the man
who is always spying out and con-
demning the slightest error in Chris
tian life by the same name?
Speaking only as the world would,
does not generosity demand different
course? Is it fair to see only the one
side always? Is it an evidence of we'll
trained judgment? -,
In the name of charity, I would
plead again for those who are living
beautiful, consistent lives in this world
of work, and temptation, and trial ;
for those whose faults may have been
noticed here, but who shall at the last
stand in the gathered assembly to
hear: "These are they that have come
out of great tribulation, and have
washed their robes, and made them
white in the blood of the Lamb"

That there should be Christ, and
that should be Christless; that there
should be cleansing, and I should re-
main foul; that there should be Fa-
theirs love, and should be an alien
that there should be heaven, and
should be cast into hell, is grief embit-
tered, sorrow aggravated.
Whatever tends to make us think
much of our poor selves also destroys
the spirituality of our mind. You can
not serve God and self too. Choose
you this day. therefore, in whose ser
vice you will employ your energies

full civil rulers,-why must republics
feel bound to elect military chieftains,
as such, to their highest civil offices
Does it not tend to perpetuate the spir-
it of war? Does it not instruct ambi-
tious men, that to excel in warlike
achievements may be passport to of
flee and fame, otherwise unattainable
by them? Can you always lay the
spirit, thus worked, or limit its sway ?
Easy is the downward course, said a
heathen poet; but, to retrace that
course, and ascend, this is a work in
deed. Our nation, in some appalling
instances, has experienced the first ;
it is, now, to experience the second;-
or, if God, do not most graciously in
terpose, suffer the fate of republics
that have been.

"But Then."

It was q queer name for little girl,
and it was lot her real name-that was
Lizzie-but everybody called her "Bul
Then"
"Course my real name isprettier, Cut
then. / like the other pretty well, she
said, nodding her short brown curls
merr;ly. And that sentence shows
lust how she came by her name.
If Willie complained that it was a
miserable, rainy day, and they couldn't t
play out of doors, Lizzie assented
brightly: ,
"Yes; but then, it is real nice day
to fix our scrap-books."
When Bob fretted because they had
so far to walk to school since they had
"moved to this horrid Out West" his
little sister reminded him:
"But then, it's all the way through
the woods, you know, and that's ever
so much nicer than walking OH pave
ments."
When even patient, Aunt Barbara
pined little because the rooms in the
new house were so few and small com
pared with the comfortable Eastern
home, rosy face was quietly lifted to
hers with the suggestion:
"But then, little rooms are the best
to cuddle up together in, don't you
think, auntie?"
"Better call her Little But Then,'
and have done with it," declared Bob,
half-vexed, half-laughing. g No mat
ter how bad anything is, she is always
ready with her but then and some
kind of consolation hitched on to the
end Of"
And so, though no one really intend
ed it, the new name began. There
were q good many things that the
children missed in their new and rud-
er home in the West. Money could
haye bought them even there but if
the money had not gone first, their fa-
ther would scarcely have thought it
necessary to leave his Eastern home.
They had done what was best under
the circumstances still the boys felt
rather inclined to grumble about it one
winter morning when they were start
ing off to the village on an errand.
HJust look at the snow going to
waste, without our having chance to
enjoy it," said Will; 'and the ice too
all because we couldn't bring our
sleds with US when we moved"
But then, you might make one
yourself, YOU know. 1t wouldn't be
quite so pretty, but it would be just as
good" suggested little But Then.
Exactly what mean to do SO soon
as can get money enough to buy two
or three boards; but / haven't even
that yet, and the winter is nearly bali
gone"
"If we only had a sled to-day, Sis
could ride and we could 60 on to the
river" said Bob. Its Just as near
that way, and we could go faster"
ut is a pity" admitted the little
girl, with momentary clouding Of her
bright face. "But then, I've thought
of something-that old chair in the
shed! If we turned it down, its back
would be most like runners, and So"
"Hurrah! that's the very thing!'
interrupted the boys, and the old chair
was dragged out in twinkling, and
carried down to the river. Then away
went the merry party, laughing and
shouting, on the smooth road between
the snowy hills, while Gyp followed,
friskily and barking, and seeming to
enjoy the fun as much as any of them.
HNow We'll draw our rig up here
close under the bank, where nobody
will see it, and leave it while we go up

PRAYED Too LITTLE.-"I was late
ly in company Of one of our older
ministers" said young minister the
other day, zone who has labored long
and with much success in some of the
most difficult fields of the church.
The object of my Interview was TO
learn from him the secret of success
with which it had pleased God to
crown his ministry in positions and
places where others had failed. In
stead, however, of directly giving me
the information I desired, he told me
with great sorrow the reason why he
had accomplished so little, and said
with unaffected sadness, My young
friend, the mistake Of my life has been
that I have not prayed more. I fell
into the error of most ministers. !
studied and preached. worked and
worried too much, and / prayed too
little! Could live my life over again,
I would be more with God and less
with men. I sec it all now-what
wasted years of unrest I have passed,
how much of my life was my own do
ing, and how little of God has been in
my active ministry! | can now, in the
evening of my days, only ask God to
forgive my shortcomings, and to aid
me in spending my few remaining
years differently from the imperfect
way in which have served my Mas

Beam along the waves OF deatn
While draw my parting breath.
And am borne TO yondcr shore
Where the billowS beat no more,
And the notes of endless spring
Through the groves immortal ring.
am going home tonight,
Out OF blindness into sight,
Out of weakness, war and pain,
Into power, peace and gain.
Out Of winter gale and gloom
Into summer breath and bloom;
From the wanderings of the past
I lam going home at last.
Kiss my lips and let me go:
Nearer swells the solemn flow
OF the wondrous stream that rolls
BY the borderland of souls;
/ can catch sweet strains OF songs
Floating down from distant throngs,
And can feel the touch of hands
Reaching out from angel bands.
